Chapter 4: Dancing on Air
Scene 1: Still at the bowling alley. Raven and Eddie sit together with disappointed looks up their faces.

"It had to be Cory! I'm gonna kill him. I know he had to say something." Raven started.

"I can't believe it. Man I swear, when I see him I'm gonna kill'em first." Eddie added.

"Not before I do homie!" Raven said as she breathed in and out like an outraged bull.

"Calm down you two. Maybe it was an accident?" Chelsea said as she sat down beside Raven.

"The only accident that there is gonna be is my foot up side his melon head." Raven said now slightly calmer.

"Calm down Rae. Maybe Chelsea's right... For once." Danny said.

"Rae, I think I'm gonna go home right now. Did you wanna ride home?" Eddie said.

"Yeah. I think I'm gonna go home and go to bed." Raven added.

"Oh wait. Did you two want a ride home too?" Eddie said.

"No it's okay. Where gonna be fine." Danny said.

"Yeah Rae. We'll be just fine. You go home and rest okay." Chelsea added. "Danny's step mom or older brother can pick us up later."

"Okay then." Raven said.

"You guys take care ok." Chelsea said sincerely.

"I'll call you tomorrow Chels." Raven added. Chelsea nodded her head.

The long 20 minute ride home was a quiet one. It seemed like it took forever the way Eddie was driving slow. Not a single word was said until Eddie slowly pulled up into the Baxter's back drive way.

"Can you believe the nerve of those two?" Eddie started. He crossed his arms and shook his head in disbelief.

"It's gonna be alright Eddie." Raven said as she started to put her hands on his arm and leaned in as if she was gonna kiss him and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Well I was thinking, maybe Cory probably told them by accident like Chelsea said. I'm not gonna make a big fuse over this, and you shouldn't either." Raven said.

"Yeah but Rae..." Eddie started but was cut off by Raven putting her finger over his lips. "It's gonna be okay. We're not gonna fuse." said Rae.

She removed her finger. Eddie started again. "Well if your not gonna fuse Rae, neither am I. I'm cooled down now." They both lean in to kiss each other.

"That's my Eddie Bear." Raven said as she wiped the pink lipstick from his lips. "You know what Eddie? You never told me how you and Chantel broke up."

"Well you told me not tell nobody. Remember?" He said sarcastically. "Remember when you dressed up as my date for the basketball dinner?"

"Yeah, that's right. I remember now." Raven said with eyes pointed to the sky.

"Well? If you must know." Eddie started. "It just didn't fell right anymore, between me and her. She just used me. I was just her trophy on her arm. Something to show off to here little girlfriends. Just because I became captain of the basketball team."

"That's horrible." Raven said.

"And that wasn't the worst part about it." Eddie added. "She cleaned out my wallet every time we went out for dinner. On our last date, I didn't have enough to pay for her big meal right. I didn't even get to eat anything. So I wind up in the back washin' dishes. She left me behind 20 minutes before I got done washin'. At least that's what the manager told me."

"Oh my goodness. So what did you do?" She says curiously.

"The next day I called her cell phone, and just broke it off with her. I dumped her. I just couldn't take it anymore. No more emotional roller coasters for me. Oh... and I took back everything I bought her too... Including the ring." Eddie finished.

"Boy you know you wrong for taking' the ring back. "Raven said.

"And now for the past month and a half she's been stockin' me." Eddie said.

"What?" Raven squealed and covered her mouth.

"I promise you, a month ago, I was walkin' to your house and she's following me . I turned around quickly to see someone quickly put a newspaper in front of their face when I turned around." He replied.

"Aww... You gotta stocker." Raven teased. Then she leans in for a kiss. "Well it's gonna be ok. Eventually she'll leave you alone."

"Well. I hope so." Eddie added. Eddie gets out of the car. Walks over to Raven's side passenger door and opens it. Grabbing her by the hand, to help and guide her out of the car. He slowly shuts the door. And then he pulls her in close as if they were gonna kiss. Eddie starts to slow dance with her.

"Eddie? What are you doing?" Raven said.

"I'm slow dancin' with my girl." He said smoothly.

"But there's no music playin'." She replied.

"You don't have to have music to dance, do you?" She smiles at him and says. "Well no."

"Well then dance with me girl. "He said. She starts to dance at the slow pace as he does. They both just slow danced for about 10 minutes with each other not saying a word, starring deeply into each other's eyes. Then Rae leans her head down on Eddie's shoulder, and closes her eyes as if she was going to sleep. Now their finished dancing.

"Well. May I walk you to your back door?"

Raven smiles and slightly blushes and says. "Of course. I would really like that."

The get to the back door and Eddie starts. "Well... It wasn't the best date at the bowling alley. But it was nice dancing with you in your drive way." Eddie smiles at her. She looks down. He lifts her chin up and he kisses her softly. This time, the kiss was much longer. What felt like forever was only 60 seconds. A good forever. It felt like Raven was floating on air. She thought to herself. "I really think he's the one for me." They stopped kissing.

"I'll call you first thing tomorrow." Raven says as she pulls out her house keys.

"I'll be waiting." He added.

"Good night Eddie."

"Good night Rae." Eddie replies, then softly under his breath as she closes the door. "Princess..." He get's into his car and backs out of the drive way and heads home.

Raven gets to her basement bedroom and has a vision.

Eddie is holding a small jewelry box.

"This is for you Rae." Eddie says. He opens the box for her. She sees the gift, but we can't.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Raven squeals with a high voice. Eddie smiles at her. She continues, "Is this really for me?"

"It's all you baby." He replies.

"I thought you forgot?" Raven says.

"I would never forget."

"It's so beautiful, Eddie!" She kisses him. Then the vision ends.

Raven smiles and then takes her heels off to lye in bed and go to sleep.
